内容記述 | Scientific application of large space antennas and telescopes is fostering the study of ultralightweight and inflatable structures. These so-called gossamer structures are tightly packaged for launch and subsequent deployment. Of particular interest is a hexapod configuration often found in vehicle ride simulators, ground-based telescopes, and antennas. One such configuration was modeled and tested at NASA Langley. Discrepancies between dynamic test data and predictions from a finite element model prompted additional static testing. This paper discusses static tests that were conducted to update stiffness parameters in the finite element model. |
